They look harmless but we stumbled upon the deadliest fungi in the world…

I’ve spotted so many fascinating mushrooms lately, but I’ve no idea what most of them are! Really looking forward to learning more on our annual mushroom walk this weekend with wildlife expert @steveengland_outdoorlearning

Mushrooms are part of a delicate web of woodland life — feeding insects, decomposing dead wood, recycling nutrients, and forming partnerships with tree roots. Exploring fungi helps us appreciate the incredible relationships that keep ancient ecosystems in balance.

No fungi knowledge needed — just curiosity! You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll learn!

By learning to identify and observe fungi, we begin to value the fragile and often-overlooked roles they play in our woodlands. Responsible exploration supports conservation – by noticing, protecting, and preserving the ecosystems we walk through.

Explore with us at The Magic of Mushrooms, in the ancient woodlands of Horwood Farm, Wickwar.
